Overview of this book

Updated to the Windows Server 2022, this second edition covers effective recipes for Active Directory administration that will help you leverage AD's capabilities for automating network, security, and access management tasks in the Windows infrastructure. Starting with a detailed focus on forests, domains, trusts, schemas, and partitions, this book will help you manage domain controllers, organizational units, and default containers. You'll then explore Active Directory sites management as well as identify and solve replication problems. As you progress, you'll work through recipes that show you how to manage your AD domains as well as user and group objects and computer accounts, expiring group memberships, and Group Managed Service Accounts (gMSAs) with PowerShell. Once you've covered DNS and certificates, you'll work with Group Policy and then focus on federation and security before advancing to Azure Active Directory and how to integrate on-premise Active Directory with Azure AD. Finally, you'll discover how Microsoft Azure AD Connect synchronization works and how to harden Azure AD. By the end of this AD book, you’ll be able to make the most of Active Directory and Azure AD Connect.

Determining whether a virtual domain controller has a VM-GenerationID

One of the requirements for Active Directory Virtualization Safeguards and domain controller cloning is the ability of the hypervisor platform to provide the VM-GenerationID to the virtual domain controller.

How to do it...

To determine whether a virtual domain controller has the VM-GenerationID, perform these steps:

  1. Sign in to the virtual domain controller.
  2. Press Start.
  3. Search for Device Manager and click its corresponding search result, or run devmgmt.msc. The Device Manager window appears.
  4. In the taskbar of Device Manager, open the View menu and select Show hidden devices.
  5. In the main pane of Device Manager, expand System devices.
  6. Search for the Microsoft Hyper-V Generation Counter system device. The existence of such a device means the virtual domain controller has a VM-GenerationID.
  7. Close Device Manager.

How it works...

When the hypervisor platform supports the VM-GenerationID feature, it will create a device to place the value of the VM-GenerationID in the virtual memory of the virtual domain controller.

To determine whether a virtual domain controller has a VM-GenerationID, look for this system device.
